VIDEO DESCRIPTIONHow to draw and shade see complex forms in terms of major and minor forms as part of learning
how to draw the head, portraits, the figure, people, animals and other complex forms.
We tend to get caught up with details and small forms whenever we draw but its important to focus on the larger, simpler, underlying mass that dominates and dictates the overall structure and value pattern. This applies if you draw the head, figure, animals, plants or flowers and virtually any other subject. Focus your attention on what is dominant.
This drawing tutorial presents the instruction using pencil and pen and ink but this principle applies to any other drawing or painting medium.
Wow. This is by far the best shading tutorial I've come across.
Trrncwilliamson thanks much :-)
yes it really is. other channels or websites don’t really explain it really well. i have no idea why 🤔🤷♂️
Before my morning used to be a cup of coffee and Starcraft 2...now it's Alphonso's videos :D
Megatron :-) thanks, I hope theyre just as energizing lol
Great!
Hassan are you me
Snap. That was awesome.
You went from zerg rush to paint brush haha
Your channel doesn't get enough recognition as it should. You are literally one of the few who help us learn step by step. I appreciate it so much and best believe I bought both of your books. Thank you so much Alphonso!
I feel like im getting instruction from an old master artist! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, alphanso! You are so generous to take the time to teach on you tube! This info is so valuable to those of us who have struggled to learn to draw, and so very well taught! Ive learned so much. Ty again. You totally rock.
Tessanna12 thanks glad you were able to take something from it

I love how your videos don't just teach someone how to copy a simple drawing. Instead you talk about concepts artists actually use to understand and imagine how things will look on paper. That's really where art skill comes from and I'm glad you focus on that. Thank you! Keep up the great work!
+TigerBites4000 Glad it helped! :-)
I love your thought process and teaching style. This is my favorite drawing channel I’ve found.
Glad I can help
I've been trying to teach myself how to draw the past 2 years and this just streamlined so much information that nobody else was teaching me about fundamentals. THIS is everything.
I am still amazed that any of Alphonso's videos are given a thumbs down. The "thumbs down" people must have some serious personal issues. Alphonso takes the time to make a quality video with quality instruction. Thank you Alphonso!!
Thanks for taking the time to make these! you're great at teaching, these videos help me a lot :)
x1XTaylorX1x :-) no worries
this is the first time i actually understood what people mean when saying "reduce to simple shapes". thank you
🙂🙏
Hi , I have just been watching your videos on shading techniques and wanted to say thanks , I have just begun to draw again after a break of forty years as I recently retired from work currently I am drawing physiques bodybuilders from black and white photographs from the nineteen fifties and found your shading videos to be most helpful and I agree with comments from others that your simple and logical thought processes on light sources and shadows and concentrating on the major masses primarily then the minor masses to be the most helpful I have found and really useful when detailing physiques thanks again for simple easy to grasp videos
You're a great teacher and awesome at what you do when I'm asked if I got so good at art school I tell them no I watch RUclips and your one of the first guys I accredit with my education thank you for all your help
Matt Baker Thanks so much...that means alot :-)I hope you keep getting better
You are such a great teacher, thanks so much for putting these informational videos on RUclips... definitely going to be watching as many as I can! God bless you!
I really needed this. Some of my art looks just off and shading was why. It was almost overwhelming when I was trying to do it before but now it feels good because I have a logical way to deal with everything. Very kewl.
The best shading tutorial I’ve ever come across. I struggle with shading and this really helped me understand a bit more.
I really enjoy these videos, I usually practice along with them to better understand. So, thank you for sharing your work with us.
Bitcrossfire1 no worries :-)
Probably one of the first videos where Alphonso is either giving us instruction on the construction and parts of muscle in his anatomy videos to his tips on where you can not just try to make masterpieces on each page of a sketchbook but on the smaller ones he's taught us that we can make references to textures or anything and everything that someone who wants to learn as much as they can about drawing but we can't always remember everything we put on paper and he taught in a video to simply have a book for making reference sketches. I am subbed and will stay, his channel is great. Thank you for your help and continued guides :) One other great thing is that his sessions are comfortable, I don't feel the need to already be a highly talented artist where I still have a lot to learn but even though you are very talented and know your complex forms/ anatomy and shadings the one really great thing is I don't feel "oh shit" this is way over my head, you make a very comfortable study guide. I do have lots to learn in regards to complex forms and how to draw certain kinds of things considering foreshortening but hopefully that will happen in time. Again, great work as I'm glad to have found your channel.
Such a helpful tutorial. The way he breaks it down and simplifies the technique is super understanding
Glad it helps
You are best teacher!
I'm an experienced artist and always have trouble with hats (and the other eye). Stepping back to basics, here, this really helped! Thank you!
That is an incredible way to explain it. Thanks for the help!
I have followed your tutorials for some time with interest. And now I simply had to order 2 of your books: pen and ink, and workbook. Looking forward to be able to learn more from you. You have such a good way to make the complicated easy to understand. Like in this video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 😃
Dude, you're just doing a great work!
I'm learning so much from you!
Julian Engelke thanks much...glad you're making progress
You are as talented an instructor as you are an artist. Your explanation of things is so understandable to novices, such as myself. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it helped 🙂🙏
Alphonso, I really love your videos. Thanks for posting!
juliberk no worries, once they help
Thank you for the video! It really helped, I’ll continue to practice it!
Great Tutorial, the first thing I do is practice your drawing, even before my tea. Thanks a lot for inspiring me.
Murali Krishna P lol super cool. I hope you'll see lots and lots of progress
Genius video. Totally understandable and your drawings talk for themselves. Watching you drawing helps a lot. I like it when people do such practical videos.
🙂🙏
Extremely helpful videos, thank you for making them available. You rock
bobby appleby thanks much :-)
Another awesome video! These are the kinds of basics that trouble people for years! You are a great teacher Alphonso!
YetiShaman thank you :-)
Thanks! All great videos and I bought your book as well.
Literal treasure trove of knowledge. Much appreciated
🙂🙏
Alphonso, all your videos are of great value, not only for the pencil/pen&ink artist, but also for the painter. It gives valuable information for the artist wanting to paint realistically from imagination.
Here a question regarding the "light direction" to consider to shade minor forms within any major planes.
Let's say I draw an object composed of two major planes: a major plane n°1 (facing the light => light tone on paper), and a major plane n°2 (opposite the light, thus in shadow => darker tone on paper). Whenever I add a minor form on my major plane n°1, then I shade this minor form according to the light source hitting major plane n°1. But when I add a minor form on my major plane n°2, which is in shadow, what is the light source to consider to shade this minor form ? As major plane n°2 is already on shadow, the main light source is not hitting that plane.
Oh ok. Then you just shade it volumetrically. Meaning you just shade it as if its receiving ambient light or you can shade it as if the light is hitting it from the same direction as the major plane in light
Thanks Alphonso. That makes sense. I also sometimes consider the reflected light (when any is present) as a "second" light source coming opposite direction from the main light source. Thus I shade my minor forms with that source of light. But it can get confusing and too "complicated" at some point ... Shading things volumetrically in shadow areas makes things consistent and easier to deal with.
I actually understood the lesson because is so well explained
Thank you so much Alphonso
Time to practice
comprehensive, helpful, simply explained... you are a teacher afterall! (and a very good one)
: ) thanks much
So helpful! Thanks for sharing. I’ve really been enjoying both of your books!
👌unbeatably well explained 🙏
all of your videos are so helpful!!!
Great tutorial. Thanks!
I have a question regarding planes and contours. My understanding is that an outline shows the edges of a form, a plane depicts the sides of an object. A contour depicts the volume of an object at a certain area. Contour lines are usually curva-linear in shape, but how would you depict the contour lines on a solid object with straight edges, like a box? I am just trying to really understand how each of these concepts work independently and then at certain places overlap. I am trying to draw from life and I think that a clear understanding of these concepts would greatly help me.
Socrates without contours you cant perceive planes. I think you should think more about the subject or object rather than try to separate concepts like contour and planes...think of contour(lines) as what forms outlines and planes are the actual shapes or outlines formed. Planes then may suggest 3D, but they are all in service of representing volume.
It's like I'm discovering all the secrets of universe..thanks to you!

+Darius Molotokas glad it did :-)
very useful way!

+Galabunter Hope I helped
That was well explained
Again, Wow! Alphonso, you might want to add a #7 and discuss reflected light. Great teaching. Eric
Youre right
Sorry Alphonso maybe I am too dunb but it wasn't ver clear to me.
I get that there is a light-medium and shadow side but I didn't get how the minor forma relate to the major forms that you explained at 5:00
So any minor form in the light side will have weaker shadows?
Minor forms in the medium tone will never go as dark as the shadow side
Minor forms in th Shadow side willl never have a light side?
Thannk you for your help!
***** Precisely...Not that they CANT or that you'll NEVER see it, buts its for the sake of consistency in your drawing...it just look better, alot better..in fact, do the opposite and see what happens to prove it to yourself :-)
I like your long tutorials which you explain the theory ith simple blocks.thanks
sirri tanribilir Thanks :-)

***** THANK YOU SO MUCH
thank you so much. its very helpfull
gidion alvian no worries
Why the left side of the cube is less darker thanthe other side in the begining?
It all seems much simpler when you teach it. I'm looking around and noticing shadow and light on objects while you talk.
linzertube lol cool
Thanks so much for your videos .keep it up :)
Very welcome
WOAH thankyou
I don't understand, in your previous tutorials about shading, you said we have to put a darker zone to limit the area between light and shadon. And here, you come dark to the light.
What's the difference ?
Quick question, what kind of pen is he using? I honestly wanna buy one but I don't know what it's called 😅
Can you make videos about the difference between male and female (proportion of the face, body etc.) ? Your work is amazing. thanks for sharing.
hattaratta no worries...thats in the works :-)
My Nigga explained the best 👍🏿
Wait a fucking minute, is this video are really 8 yrs old?
This concept could be applied in pen & ink?
What about light reflecting onto the object?
And what about the minors casting shadows onto the main object?
+Some cringy kid thats the magic of art you can completely ignore or create them or draw them as observed
Hey alphonso would you happen to know what the best book there is out there on perpective ? Im buying valerie winslows anatomy books .but also want to study perspective.
hmm There are a few solid ones. I'll have to get back to you
this is cool
🙂🙏
excellent!
Mike Fladlien thanks :-)
may I ask how you would apply this too the face I'm using a pencil but it's still difficult
Of course
cane we use ur techniques with graphaite pencils ? i m willing to purchase ur book
Of course
Alphonso Dunn sir which will be better ? A lead holder or a graphait pencil ? Suggest me a good one
14:45 when you are making a line on top of that arm draw feels illegal, i would never 😭
This is genius
Why didnt i come up with that while drawing
i love your drawing, it really help. And i don't know how to draw the raining sky, raining cloud, tornado,... Can you help? again? Thank you !! :)
Hiep Hoang lol...hmmm raining clouds and stuff? I can definitely work on that
